Allegheny Mountain Institute

Allegheny Mountain Institute Growing Food. Building Community. ​AMI’s mission is to foster local community and ecological health
through foodways, nature connection, and education.

During a time of increasingly strained ecological, cultural, and social systems we envision a reweaving of relationships at a village level, nurturing pathways of health and connection between humans and with the earth. Ecologically aligned foodways are the pillar of this work, through local farm networks, seed cultivation and agroforestry. AMI strives to reach its mission through interrelated pat

hways:

Creating a space on Allegheny Mountain for deeper connection, cultivating an innovative small farm, while also utilizing alternative foodways such as agroforestry and tending the wild ecology of the land

Offering diverse classes in order to teach skills, enliven local wisdom and lore, foster strong relationships, and catalyze hope for positive culture change

Supporting other organizations with land-based and community-strengthening efforts

It’s been a busy season on the mountain—growing food, growing community, and getting ready for one of our favorite seasons 🍁🥕🍂

Jamie has been hard at work getting the Lodge ready for our leaf-peeping guests, and we can already feel the shift. The light is changing, the evenings are getting a little cozier, and we’re making plans for the fall garden 🌱✨

Whether you need a break from a busy summer, a weekend to unplug with a stack of books and your favorite hobby, or simply want to sit around the campfire under a blanket of stars while that first hint of fall drifts over the mountain… the Lodge is ready. 🔥🍁

Tucked away in the beautiful mountains of Appalachia, we’re the perfect place to get off the grid and reconnect with what matters. ❤️

Over the years, we’ve welcomed yoga retreats, family gatherings, girls’ weekends, creative getaways, and intimate weekends for two. Whatever your version of a perfect fall escape looks like, we’re here to help you plan it. 🍂🔥🍁

Fall is calling. Come find your way to the mountain. ✨

Come join us for a midsummer mountain getaway! 🌿⛰️
Spend the day—or make a weekend of it with friends. Our herbal workshop will be held at The Lodge atop Bear Mountain near beautiful Monterey, Virginia, where breathtaking views and fresh mountain air create the perfect setting to unplug and recharge.
